I always notice you guys use bhp to measure the cars power so I looked it up because we use HP in america.
Brake horsepower
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as alternator, power steering, and AC compressor. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower).
Now a lot of the cars I see you guys getting have like 105 bhp and what not so in all you guys really have like 90 hp cars. So let me get this straight you guys mod little go-karts and since everyones car is pretty much slow you think they are fast? lol
My mustang has 260 hp and about 300 pounds of torque and I can go about top speed of 135 mph before engine cuts out.
am I just mis-informed? Tell me how fast your car is and what not whats your 0 to 60?
PS. my car does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds.
